rupert murdoch's performance was really quite extraordinary. he seemed to be trying to convince the world that he was a doddering old chap that had no idea what was going on. a lot of the time i felt convinced of that. one of the most striking things about the parents was this is probably the end of the rupert murdoch era. this will convince most shareholders that he is not the person to be running this company. >> what about james murdoch? do you think that he knew? >> he did a very controlled and technocratic performance using words extremely carefully. he was terribly well coached. he said nothing that you could point to and say that he really knows what is going on. he is in a lot of difficulty particularly around the signing of the check for a million pounds. he maintains that he had no idea that part of the evidence in this case was that there were more journalists involved in the hacking. at the moment, it is his word against those of the other people involved. >> this is really a day of parliamentary peter. did you find out anything tha
